Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am puzzled by acorn squash mango soup: [link] I like acorn squash, and I like mango, but I don't think they go together.

Our wings are not tired.

Thanksgiving will be in Fort Lauderdale at BIL's house. No clue what there will be other than the lasagnas that I will be bringing. Not sure who all will be there. If SIL's brother is there that means good stuff because he is a chef. One SIL will bring lots of veggie stuff and lots of Pie! The grandma of the house will prepare lots of Haitian fare, rice and such. No doubt there will be food for many more than required, and drink, and merriment.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm going to my in-laws and cooking for them and my brother (who is going to be in DC applying for jobs instead of in NH with the rest of that side of the family). Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, stuffed roasted pumpkin, creamed spinach, mushroom tart, green beans, salad, and pumpkin flan for dessert. And maybe gougeres if I'm feeling ambitious and have time and extra butter.

We are hosting around a dozen folks at our place in Pasadena. I work late on Wednesday and early on Friday so it's all about staying in town and not going near my crazy family in San Diego.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Aw, Emeline was such a nice little girl. So sorry to hear she's been sent down the mines.

She was nice while she lasted, wasn't she?

Really, I'm not doing anything over here. Ignore the muffled sounds.

Maybe she can serve as a cautionary tale to the rest. Matilda tends to shout things out you know. Of course, Olivia is going to completely ruin the curve now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Never heard of her before, but Voltairine de Cleyre was cool.
